ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

[rjs330]

The right tried to kill Trump, Pence, both Pelosis, Whitmer, and tried to overthrow the government.

Never happened.

No, the right simply tried to assassinate Trump, Pence, both Pelosis, Whitmer, and tried to overthrow the government. Trivial, really.

Never happened.

I really can't blame Trump.for hating his opponents after what they have done and tried to do to him. Include killing him like they killed Charlie.

He has real reasons to hate them. I'm not saying he's right to hate. As believers we are called to love our enemies and to forgive those who have sinned against us. But lets be honest shall we? That's not easy to do.

Rhe left is so full of hate and we've seen it in is spades regarding Charlie, yet they still want to call out rhe fact that Trump said he hates his opponents. Why don't we just admit that a lot of people struggle with that. We have so many on the left spewing hate when they themselves, were not the victims of anything. The problem with hate is it can lead to vengeance. And vengence more often than not leads to really bad outcomes.

I hope the president eventually figures this out.

Kirk's wife is a good example to all of us. God bless her for not giving in.

Kudos for admitting Kirk was a better man than himself

That’s not what that says.
Charlie’s dead and I’m not, is what it sounds like to my ear.

It wasn't a formal decree. It was a non-binding comment. Hence, the decision belongs to ABC, and ABC also thinks Kimmel should make a donation to Turning Point USA.

ABC affiliate owner demands Jimmy Kimmel make Charlie Kirk donation

Wow, such a nice network, it’d be a shame if anything ‘happened’ to jeopardize it, isn’t a sentiment one would like to hear coming from the government official whom has control of your fate.

 

[Pommer]

I don't think so. The question doesn't offend me though, if that’s what the intention was. I'm a Catholic, so never really heard of Charlie Kirk until his assassination, though my 14 year old was a fan of his, which i didn't know until she discovered Kirk’s shocking death, and began telling me about him.

...But I can't judge his character because I never followed him. What I will judge, though, are those who take jabs at him, after his death, because I think that's tacky and plain trashy.

What he said in life has already been, (you know), said.
His horrific murder won’t change the timber of the tone.

 

[Servus]

First they support the LIE to link the Kirk assasin to MAGA, now they LIE, and blame the Trump administration for taking Kimmel off the air.

...I really wish the devil would just go back to hell, and stop brainwashing our citizens with this mental illness.

And on top of that is playing the victim. "The autocracy is out to get us".

 

[Servus]

A bit of an overreaction, no?

1. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was not cancelled. It was suspended.
2. ABC made the "decision alone" in the same way that a bank teller gives the man with the gun some cash "on their own". The FCC Chair threatened ABC affiliates with the destruction of their business and they started to comply by preempting the broadcast of the show.

I bet if I research it, I'll find a bunch of times the FCC has issued a warning / ultimatum to a network. Showing that that along with people getting suspended or fired from a network over something they said is nothing new. But of course this time out of all the others it's the big bad autocracy out to get the poor lefties.

That's pretty funny considering they can't even get a simple apology out of him. Most likely Kimmel's relationship with ABC is shattered beyond all repair. Kimmel will probably start his own podcast or whatever.

Funny how we haven’t had such problems to this degree when other Presidents were in office. Sure, comedians and news people all irk Presidents to one degree or another, but the quote from Chairman Carr:

”They have a license granted by us at the FCC that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest," Carr told Johnson. "I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct to take actions, frankly on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead." Carr likened Kimmel’s comment to "news distortion," which is against FCC’s rules for broadcasters.

isn’t a veiled threat, it was out in the open, don’t use the airwaves to say mean things about our friends!

Jimmy Kimmel plans return after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments

ABC and Disney are in talks to bring back Jimmy Kimmel's show after it was suspended indefinitely amid backlash to the host's comments on the murder of Charlie Kirk.

I doubt ABC/Disney execs want to put that albatross back around their neck. Kimmel is dead weight and a liability at this point.

Let's not forget what Biden was doing with trying to shut down speech using the governement.

And as far as we know now, the FCC didn't tell anyone that Kimmel had to go. It was local affiliates that said they weren't wanting to support his programming. When people saw his blatant lies and smears they'd had enough.

Yep that played a huge part in it. It's a business out to make money. It was probably already not making enough money. The combination of complaints from affiliates, sponsors and viewers was enough right there to at least put the show on hiatus.

Charlie loved.his enemies as the Bible commands us to do is what it sounds like to me

Sentiments like that from government officials resulted in lynchings during Jim Crow.

The topic of your alleged interest was threats. That was a threat.

Jimmy Kimmel's show returning on Tuesday, ABC announces​

The network pulled the show after the Federal Communications Commission chair threatened to revoke ABC affiliate licenses after the host's comments about Charlie Kirk's death.

 

[NxNW]

Words have consequences. Doesn’t mean anyone is being censored.

You're right; Jimmy's show is coming back!

 

[NxNW]

Never happened.

A Republican tried to kill Trump on July 13, 2024. Hundreds of Republicans tried to assassinate Pence & Pelosi, and overthrow the government, Jan 6, 2021. The conspirators who plotted against Whitmer were sentenced in Dec 2022, though Trump is talking about pardoning them, which is another example of the right promoting violence.

That was a Republican who shot at Trump.

Rhe left is so full of hate and we've seen it in is spades regarding Charlie,

Kirk's shooter does not have any leftist organization affiliations.
